Soft serves are the speciality - the signature pick is pink peppercorn, which tastes moderately of berries with a mild peppery finish, while the current seasonal alternative is black sesame, buoyed by natural nuances. Both flavours prove gently restrained, with a smooth, airy texture.

Come and enjoy our well-crafted bratwursts; each made with fine cuts of pork shoulder and natural casings, infused with quality ingredients, and served on a freshly-baked butter roll. Pair your hotdog with a hand-picked selection of beers and ciders.

The sausages prove juicy & easy to enjoy - two of us easily finished five hot dogs (though we likely left behind some bread). Note however that the infusion of elements like cinnamon may turn out to be more subtle than expected, supplying nuanced dimensions of flavour instead of knock-out dynamics. There's potential for slow-burning pleasure, but probably no fireworks.

Take a seat by Aether Cafe's windows, enjoy the leafy view & watch out for Asian red-cheeked squirrels scampering outside - Malaysian brothers Mark & Shaun Chang have chosen a lovely location for their new cafe, which is poised to become a hidden sanctuary for the weary city soul, supplying some respite from the offices & malls.

A new day has dawned in Damansara Jaya: Second Sunday could become the first choice for denizens who desire a distinctive destination with fun flourishes & colourful cooking by familiar faces formerly from The Front Door in Chinatown.

The coffee's pleasant, a bit of a lighter roast than the norm. All in all, Gee & Geek has potential, ranking among 2015's more promising independent cafes so far. It serves brunch too - expect everything from Big Breakfasts to Greek yoghurt parfaits. Get your geek on!

The distinctive decor supplies a more compelling, camera-ready reason to visit compared to the cheesecakes, coffee & beer - though we rather like Otherwise's banana cheesecake, featuring ripe fruit that's freshly sliced & placed on the cake on order.

Chequers serve handmade Waffles using premium local & seasonal ingredients set in a fun and whimsical atmosphere.

KL's first cafe that specialises in both savoury & sweet waffles served in the spirit of experimentation has opened this week in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, setting the stage for what's expected to be a welcome explosion of waffle eateries in the weeks to come.
